In a financial world that struggles between crisis winds and timid signs of recovery, one sector is showing steady and important growth: securitisation. And a player is proving to be ahead of the competition in this sector: the Swiss group iSwiss.

The results of the last few months speak for themselves and leave no room for doubt or uncertainty: there are 36 active securitisation transactions on the market involving iSwiss, for capital of more than EUR 3 billion.

The reasons for this success are manifold: first and foremost, certainly the ability to exploit an innovative instrument such as securitisation, which until now had been relegated to a few large-value transactions.

Moreover, iSwiss's intuition is to go beyond the limits and characteristics of 'classic' securitisation: using this instrument also for very innovative projects that are attractive to investors, such as real estate transactions, and also to open up niche markets to a broader range of subjects, as is the case with the securitisation of revenues derived from the exploitation of gold mines in Asia.

Another winning choice is that of the partners who have flanked and flank iSwiss during the securitisation operations: all top-level companies, starting with the Bologna-based Legalcredit and the company Società Italiana di Raiting spa.

A very important series of milestones was achieved, but which will certainly not be the last, according to iSwiss CEO Christopher Aleo: "iSwiss was one of the first European financial realities to promote the diffusion of the securitisation tool."

"We did this," continues Aleo, who has already been nominated by Forbes as a financial innovator for 2022, "by trying to start from a new vision of this instrument, studying the relevant legislation with the utmost care, but also by taking advantage of the opportunities offered by central bank regulations and the legislation envisaged at European level."

Compliance with regulations has been combined with a new vision of finance, a 2.0 vision, which has focused both on the new tools made available by technology and on a concept of a 'sharing economy' that can be declined in such a way as to bring benefits to all players in the financial world.

A courageous choice that has been rewarded by results and that drives the entire iSwiss team to do even better and grow the securitisation reality at European and global level.
